Kent Fostering Foster Carer Appreciation Event 2019

It is that time of year again where we are asking our staff and carers to nominate each other for an award at the Foster Carer Appreciation Event 2019.

You will notice a few differences this year. The venue has moved to a more central location - The Mercure Great Danes Hotel, Ashford Road, Maidstone, Kent ME17 1RE and will be held on 11 October 2019 starting at 10am.

Last years Foster Carer Appreciation Event held at Leas Channel Suite, was one of our best nominated and attended by our carers. We had 129 nominations for our carers and staff over the 30 different award categories.

We have also added a the list of categories for this year’s awards (some categories will have multiple winners). We ask that for each nomination you make, you tailor it to the category you are choosing for that individual or couple.

Find out more and nominate using our online form

You can also complete the nomination form (DOCX, 308.2 KB) and send to Vicky Corney-Young at Victoria.Corney-Young@kent.gov.uk. The closing date for nominations is the 31 August.

You are able to nominate multiple people over multiple categories, but each nomination must be submitted separately. For example, you could nominate Jane Doe for an Advocacy Award and the Outstanding Care for Adolescents award, but they would have to be submitted separately on two nomination forms.

With all of the good work that is undertaken throughout children’s services, we are hoping for a bigger and better event.

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch. I look forward to reading all of your wonderful nominations.
